I need advice on MacBook pro case
I just got off the phone with an Apple support person discussing my new MacBook Pro's sleep problems. Besides having me do a lot of resets, he said my choice of carrying case is prone to over-heating.
I have a nice Brenthaven case -- heavy nylon on the outside, with a "shelled" sleeve on the inside. (http://brenthaven.com/catalog-metrol...ack_apple.html) Good, snug, protection, but also makes a good oven when the MacBook decides to wake up.
Therefore, I'm looking for advice on cases that provide better ventilation. Something similar to my current case -- light, compact, minimalist. Any suggestions?

Wow, that's kind of a drag, since I want to simply: close lid > slide in case > zip > go.
Do I need to develop new habits, and actually shut down? In which case, my current Brenthaven case is fine. Or can I keep my old habit of sleeping, and look for a better ventilated case?
A few days later my fans were running for a long time, I was only using safari. I realized that Excel was running and was not responding. Once I forced the app to quit, the fans turned off. I'm thinking that excel awakened the computer.
From then on I make sure that I quit any Office application before putting the computer to sleep. I haven't had any trouble since...
Hope that helps!
